Frequently asked questions
Does this include the Masca Gorge?
No. We visit the hamlet and landscape; the gorge descent has separate logistics, permits and conditions.
Will we reach Punta de Teno?
Only when regulation, authorised transport, weather and timing allow. A coherent alternative is always planned.
What happens if the weather changes?
I monitor the forecast and official alerts. If they affect safety or the quality of the route, I will suggest a different itinerary, another date or the solution stated in the tour conditions.
Can more than eight people book?
Yes. I can arrange a minibus or coach and, where necessary, additional professionals. You will receive one detailed quotation before booking.

Tell me when you are coming, where you are staying and what you would like to discover. I will reply with a clear proposal for your group.
